To all It is as if the WTBTS has built walls around it to make
them impervious to justice being done to them regarding
pedophilia and other kinds of abuse. It makes me so mad
that they are getting away with so much!! They seem to have
a fortress to protect themselves while the victims have
nothing to protect them. I wish that JWs could see this
'religion' for what it really is - - just a controlling,
uncaring big business posing as the 'true religion'. |

A quick correction I wanted to clarify something I posted in case anyone
checked into it and was confused. Orlando is the major city
in Central Florida. It's newspapers, radio, and TV stations
serve this area well. I live in Brevard County right next
to the Space Center. Orlando is actually in Orange County,
which is the next one west of my county. I use Google maps
often and I didn't want anyone to get confused about the
geography. I hope this helps. M.A.N. |

To all The Florida law enforcement community is currently looking
for several people as suspects in attempted rapes, child
molestation, and murders. Next month I'll be visiting local
police agencies and the county sheriff's office. I'm
bringing the copy of the "murder letter" where Bethel tells
the local elders not to report a man who is wanted for
several murders and is seeking to be baptized. This, of
course, was several years ago, but I'm sure they will be
outraged that any decent citizen, especially those who
claim to be morally superior to the rest of the world,
would fail to report any knowledge they had concerning
suspects. I'm also contacting the newspapers and TV
stations. Orlando is the central city in the area where I
live. I know they will jump on this. There have been many
cases of child abuse and attempted rape as well. I know for
a fact that if the police knew convicted pedophiles were
going door to door and the public did NOT know, that the WT
will be facing major problems. I also plan to distribute
flyers in libraries, stores, banks, etc. Florida has a
problem with teachers molesting children, and a large
percentage of the pedophiles are women teachers. Most of
them get long prison terms. I'll post more details ASAP. If
you monitor the news in the Orlando area (county of
Brevard), you will be able to see these stories unfold. I'm
hoping that other states and communities follow the example
of the police in Central Florida. They publish a newspaper
here every few months that lists ALL known pedophiles,
their pictures, addresses, exactly what their crime was,
etc. They take this very seriously in this area. All it
takes to get this issue on the news is enough people who
complain that perverts are knocking on their doors in the
name of "religion". Here they hate religious people
(ministers, TV preachers, etc.) who molest even more than
they hate regular citizens who do so. This is a golden
opportunity for anyone to contribute to this effort to warn
the public. And as always, monetary contributions to Silent
Lambs are always welcomed. Bill Bowen has an extremely
vital service that he is doing his best to accomplish. I
know many active JW's read this site and many others that
they would call "apostate". There are many YouTube videos
of ex-JW's explaining what happened to them. You would be
surprised at how many JW's "in good standing" try to slam
them as liars and "apostates that Jehovah will shortly
kill". I regularly am threatened with eternal damnation on
YouTube in the "comments" section. As most of you know, I'm
not afraid of God or the Devil, so the childish name-
calling of ignorant and obnoxious JW's, who aren't supposed
to be even on the Internet, just make me laugh as well as
pity them because of their gross ignorance and unChristian
conduct. I mention this because it demonstrates that these
videos, and Silent Lambs, are getting the message out very
effectively. If this many JW's are reading these comments
and are upset enough to "attack the messenger", you can be
sure that they are rapidly becoming aware that we know the
whole truth about this baby-raping cult and that we will
NOT give up until they are exposed completely. I know
they will never change their policies nor apologize to
anyone, so it is a fight to the bitter end. The WT cannot
possibly win this, they don't have the people, the
money, nor the intelligence to hide their crimes any
longer. I'll try to post the details of what I do and how
well it worked out so that others can be encouraged to do
the same in their area. My best to all. M.A.N. |

From a Scientology Critic I wanted to thank the maker of this website, it's
supporters, and all contributors. Because of the internet
and the rapid sharing of information, hopefully we can all
overcome abusive behaviors in organized
religions/cults/groups. I will be featuring this site on
my youtube channel and even considering a dedication.
This site holds a wealth of valuable information for those
who seek truth and justice. God Bless all of you! |

To M.A.N. I'm so glad you're going to take the "murder letter" to
police stations and sheriff offices! I admire you for the
strong action you take against the WTBTS's stance on
pedophilia - - even murder! What insanity the WTBTS is
getting away with! It's unbelievable and so very, very
appalling! You are a great advocate for victims and family
and friends of victims! Thank you for all you do. |

Truth Unfolding My nephews wife obtained her Degree in Psychology , her main
study was religion among which were J.W.s. She said a lot the
study and material was the amount of Sexual child abuse
among the W.T. members that was concealed. Both are surprised
they even show their face at the doors. Hidden things cant
remain forever hidden. INSP. |

refresh page I have noticed for about a month that when I come to
Silent Lambs I see the same messages. I know that it has
slowed down but I also wanted to point out that to get the
new messages in the guest book I have to refresh the page.
I do not know whats up with that but I figured if I had
this issue maybe others would as well. So if you never see
any new messages here than hit your refresh button,f5 with
Windows XP home edition, and see if that helps. Blessings
to all, keep up the good work. |

Thank you I just wanted to thank Earl and everyone else who responded
to my comment. I also appreciate your concern for my
health. It runs in both my parents' families so I have to
make sure I go easy at times. I liked Jen's comment that
she made about Florida police being concerned about this
issue. How could any decent person NOT be concerned?? I
know this is a side point, but Bill has posted the "murder
letter" right here on this site. I consider that attitude
of the WT to be the second worse/most disgusting thing
they've done. Who in their right mind would ever belong to
a religion that urged (read "commanded") the elders NOT to
let anyone know that they were going to baptize a wanted
fugitive. Their only concern was that he smoked marijuana
one time. Is smoking one joint now a worse sin to Jehovah
than killing SEVERAL people?? Are the GB members insane?? I
think that letter says it all. I can't wait to bring it to
various police stations and sheriff offices. I'm sure I can
guess what they will think and do about it. I'll post again
when I can. My best to all. M.A.N. |

true statement "Men who hold no position in the congregation are second
class citizens"
This is 100% true, it has before a clergy class just like
any other religion.
All whoever have been abused should go to the police not
elders. The whole premise is not what was meant by the
bible. Elders are supposed to be shepherds not spiritual
police! |

To Shelly, M.A.N., LJ, & all M.A.N., I am sorry to hear about your heart condition,
and I hope you recover and will be well! Shelly, I agree
that so many good people end up being tarnished by the JW
religion. This cult truly is "a man's world", and it hurts
women and children who cannot speak as openly as the men
can. Nobody should be stifled and repressed, but that is
how it is for women who are Jehovah's Witnesses. Even the
women often excuse this as being okay, as not being a bad
thing. They don't really seem to see it, or they think
that's the way it should be or something. Well, it
shouldn't be that way for anyone! M.A.N., you said you've
heard reports of police going out and sending people home
because of pedophiles who go door to door. Do you mean the
police went out into territories and made people going door
to door go home? Wow, that would be something! I like the
way Florida does things! :-) LJ, I am so sorry about your
experience with the sick PO and how everyone including your
own family let you down about it! It is terrible that you
have had to endure all that shunning, and for five years
yet! It is terrible that your own mother would not believe
you! |

Apostasy!! I have been reading some of Rutherford's books. It is very
specific pointing out that GOD'S WORK is revealing the
hypocrisy and apostasy of the religious leaders and their
religion. When writing this I am sure he did not expect it
would also apply to his own group!!! That some would abandon
their former allegiance to what is taught (the good moral
standards) in the bible. These Pedophiles are feigning the
qualities and beliefs that they do not actually possess.
They feign a front of high morals but actually full of
criminal behavior as can be proved with all the court case
that have been won around the world. Showing quite
eloquently that they are apostate hypocrites giving a
pretense of deep religious faith and commitment but actually
as Jesus said in Matthew 7:15" Be on the watch for the false
prophets that come to you in sheep's covering but inside
they are ravenous wolves." Are they not ravenous wolves
these sex offenders/Pedophiles? How will we recognize these
men? It is by what they do that we identify them. As the
scripture further says "by their fruit you will recognize
these men." How true!!!DJB |

To LJ Men who hold no position in the congregation are second
class citizens, and women and children are valued even
less in the jw cult. I'm so sorry you lost your family
over that elder's sexual harassment. Your elder boss is
legally obligated to protect you from such, and it's too
bad you didn't go to the REAL authorities when it
happened. There are many online support groups. Please
join us. |

new I didnt happen upon this site..I looked it up. I was not
baptized but I was an unbaptized publisher. Anyways, I
want to point out that its not just children that are not
being protected. I was 25 (im 31 now) and was "making
progress" in the truth after being raised in it my entire
life. I worked at an office where several elders worked as
well. One of the PO's in another hall than the one I was
attending would come into the office from the shop at
lunch and talk to me. He was very nice and about my
fathers age, maybe a bit younger. A few months into him
coming in at lunch time, he started talking to me about
the difficulties of marriage. Mind you, I was a little
nervous because my husband and I were having a hard time
and I was living at my sisters on and off but none of the
brothers knew. So I thought he MUST have known something
about it. No, he didn't. I'm not sure where his mind was or
why he was talking to me about this stuff, but one day
after work he stood behind my chair and forcefully grabbed
by breast and kissed me. I was so incredibly freaked out.
No I didn't scream, yell, nothing. I just sat there
completely silent. I was stunned. I told my husband about a
week later when I was picking up our son from his home. He
knew I was telling the truth and confronted this PO at my
work. I asked for a meeting with my boss, who was also an
Elder that I have known my entire life. The PO denied
everything and said he had no idea why I would say
anything like that. Needless to say, NOTHING has ever
happened to this PO. He is still presiding over the hall,
and I still look like a liar. I was later removed as being
an unbaptized publisher for leaving my husband, for
reasons not pertaining to any of this. But When I brought
up how wrong it was for the elders to all protect him to
my mother she quickly told me she would not tolerate my
talking badly about her brother. That there was no "proof"
that anything I said actually happened. And that
everything I have said was Hearsay. I have lost my entire
family because of this. I live in a fairly small town and
have to run into my family everywhere. They walk right
past me. My mother will not speak to me. They gave a
special needs talk on how to treat the person who is
removed from being an unbaptized publisher but isn't
disfellowshiped. It all ended up panning out to be the
same thing. I don't know how people deal with this. Its
been about 5 yrs and I still feel so raw about it. |

M.A.N. I am glad to see you are active in exposing these
activities. They think they are above the law and have
taken liberties that no one else would have dared to. As
you know cults exalt themselves above every one else and
that has been the history of the WT org. Way back when
they started predicting dates that Jesus said even he did
not know and taking a divine name and saying they are a
witness to him and all others are going to hell is proof
of their in-humility. I also hope judges get to see some
of their doctrine on Spiritual warfare where a lie is not
really a lie if the person you lie to doesn't need that
information. Yes , exposing them will only help the Silent
Lambs. Keep up the good work |

Greetings to all I just wanted to let everyone know that this year I will be
finalizing my plans to expose the Watchtower once and
for all. I will give details at a later date, but a large
portion of the exposure will involve the media and law
enforcement.
Florida has a far different culture toward pedophiles than I
observed in some northern states, particularly New Jersey.
Abuse that would put a man in prison for life might only be
a one year sentence in New Jersey. I am in contact with
authors, columnists, and others. The famous "murder letter"
where the WT advises the BOE not to report a wanted fugitive
will be distributed to local police, the county sheriff's
office, local and national newspapers, and TV and radio
stations. There are also many online forums that allow the
reporting of news of this type. I'm not a lawyer but if the
elders hide the murderer's background from the congregation
and fail to call the police, I was told that this is
harboring a known felon. The prison sentence for doing this
is many years for any elder involved. And of course, the
child abuse issue will be reported and explained. I have
already heard reports of police coming out and sending JW's
home because pedophiles are going door to door. The law
considers them guilty as charged and they must obey the laws
about not going closer than so many feet to schools, parks,
or certain homes. They obviously do not obey these laws. The
fact that the BOE considers them innocent because of the two
witness rule does not change the legal charges against them
or how the law treats them. To put it bluntly, the WTS does
NOT own the earth. Secular authorities enforce the laws that
we WORLDLY people make. Soon the WTS will learn that its
arrogance was a mistake, especially if many of the elders
(or higher) are arrested and go to prison.
People are deadly serious about this issue in this state.
They publish newspapers with addresses, names, photos,
weight, height, what the pedophile did, and anything else
you might want to know. I have also contacted people in the
legal field to see if a class action lawsuit can be started
on behalf of victims from years ago as well as family
members who suffered in some manner due to the WT's
policies on pedophiles. Since moving to Florida in 2005, my
health has gotten worse. I know others who have suffered as
well. On this very site is the story of how Bill Bowen's
own family was used against him. At some point, this
becomes emotional abuse and some places have laws against
it. These incidents will all be investigated. I will close
for now. I just wanted people to know I have NOT gone away
nor will I ever do so. I've had some heart trouble and must
proceed carefully and slowly. But remember, the tortoise
won the race. I also am in the process of streamlining my
computer equipment for maximum performance. One last
reminder would be to please examine your circumstances and
see what you can contribute to Silent Lambs. It is true
that every dollar counts. Again, thank you to everyone who
helps support this site and those who post in order to
encourage others. You have literally saved more lives than
you are aware of. Good health and my best to all. And of
course, our thanks to Bill for all he does. M.A.N. from
Florida. |

silent lambs no more I too found this website by accident, but felt I was meant
to find it. I was raised in the JW faith from the ages of
9-17. I never willingly participated, but was forced and
coerced into being part of this horrible, joyless,
existence. My two brothers are also very angry about our
past and one of them tells me everything he accomplished
between the time he was a teenager and now was driven by
rage due to the JW's and their lies. Thank you for
bringing the despicable aspects of this religion to light.
Keep up the good work! |

Hi to all Thank you for your comments. It is very frustrating to see
JW's acting in a sensible manner in normal life and then to
completely abandon all logical thought when it comes to the
Watchtower. There is a saying, "There are none so blind
than those who WILL NOT SEE." (caps added by me) It really
is a psychological issue. JW's will not usually change by
being "reasoned with". They won't use reason when
discussing their beliefs. But they expect all other
religions to do so. The sad part is that they never see the
irony in the things they do. M.A.N. |

The Point The main point about this entire thing is justice being
done in the case of all crimes and finding the real true
way that God wants us to worship Him. I was delivered from
the jws about 3 years ago and I've never been happier or
closer to God. It is really exciting to be able to learn
such wonderful things about God's love and care for all of
His creatures. I lost count at about 40 of the things jws
teach that are not in harmony with the bible. BEWARE OF
PEOPLE WHO SAY THAT THEY ARE THE CHOSEN BY GOD & EVEN IF
THEY COMMIT APOSTASY YOU ARE STILL TO REMAIN CONNECTED TO
THEM!!! APOSTASY IS A BIG NO-NO WITH GOD! GOD CARES FOR ALL
OF YOU. HE HAS NOT TURNED HIS BACK OR LOVE AWAY, EVEN IF
YOU'VE MADE THE WORST MISTAKE. HE WILL FORGIVE YOU & TAKE
YOU IN IF YOU LET HIM. PEACE! |

Heart breaking It is truly heartbreaking that the vast majority of good
people associated with the wbts have to be tarnished
because of disgusting principles held by their leaders. I
grew up in and out of the wbts and have many happy memories
of the people associated with that organization. To these
people I give my genuine thanks and love. However, my
family moved around quite a bit and in the 6 congregations i
was part of there were underlying problems of abuse in
various forms. I believe the reason for this is: 'Sexual
inequality' and the 'Kingdom Smile'. Women are told that the
man is the head of the household and the church and while
they have their uses (child rearing, knocking on doors and
housework) it is the men who are closer to God even the ones
known to have been accused of rape and violence. Men who
wish to objectify women and children have a free pass to do
so. The kingdom smile, covers a multitude of sins and hurt. |
